Today is Mother's Day and I hope you have given your Mom a special hug!
Moms care for us and show us how to solve problems. They make sure that you
are fed, find things that are lost, and go shopping for new purses and shoes.
Moms may take you to practice,birthday parties, to the mall, or to the pool.
She is your first teacher and she laughs at you when you act silly.
There are times that you and Mom may disagree and you may walk away
feeling very upset. You may yell and cry because things do not go your way.
Forgive. Give her your best smile.Remember that Mom is doing what she thinks is best
for you.
Those who have no Mom may feel sad for their loss. They will keep
the memories alive by looking at photographs and remembering what she enjoyed doing.
Moms, grandmothers, step-moms, and those who are called "Mom"
are gifts that should be appreciated.
Today, look at her and Say "Thank you Mom!".

Hi girls! Happy Sunday!
Kelsey is 12 years old and was sitting at home on a Saturday evening as
bored as ever. Her parents had recently told her that she would
have to wait until she turned 13 to get a cell phone of her own. Kelsey freaked
out and complained to them about this rule. After all, Kelsey's friends
(Tiara and Shannon) had their own cell phones!
In the meantime, she had to share a phone with her sister Lacey who was 16.
Kelsey did not like sharing the cell phone because Lacey was always away from their
home with friends. When Lacey was home, she only let Kelsey talk to
Tiara and her other friends for 5 minutes. "You have five minutes! No longer!!" she would tell
Kelsey. Kelsey told her parents, but it did not do any good. Her mom told her
to be patient. Kelsey told her mom that she was the only 12 year old girl
in the world that did not have her own phone.Her mom just gave her
a funny look.
Kelsey felt frustrated and discouraged. That night, she fell onto
her bed so hard that her pillow fell onto the floor. She didn't bother
to pick it up.
The next morning, Kelsey awakened with a sore neck. Kelsey woke up thinking about
another long year of waiting for her phone. Kelsey got up, went to the kitchen and grabbed a piece of
French toast from the skillet on the stove. She took a bite, turned around and saw Lacey with her
arm reaching out to her with the cellphone in her hand. "It's Tiara. Hurry up.", Lacey said.
Kelsey grabbed the phone.
Tiara asked Kelsey to come over to her house for a birthday party. The
party was for Tiara's little brother who was turning 4 years old. The party was
at a nearby park and they were going to go swimming.
After asking her mom, Kelsey said yes and Tiara's mom picked her up. Kelsey met Tiara's friend
whose name was Summer. What a cool name, Kelsey thought. Summer was new in the neighborhood.
The girls listened to music, swam in the pool, and played with the little kids.
The girls ate grilled chicken burgers with sweet potato fries and
Kelsey laughed as she and Tiara took the onions off of their burgers at the same time.
The girls talked about their favorite color(s) of swimsuits. The girls were putting
sunscreen on when Tiara asked Summer where her mom bought her swimsuit. Summer said
that she was staying with her grandparents. She told Kelsey and Tiara that
her mother was in a treatment center. Her mother slept a lot,drank too much alcohol and took too
many prescription pills. Summer said that her father left
the family and went to stay with a woman. Kelsey was surprised to hear
Summer say those things. Kelsey learned that Summer did not have a cell phone either.
She could tell that Summer missed her parents very much.
The girls got up and played with the large beach ball in the swimming pool.
They raced each other from one side of the pool to the other. Tiara won the race.
Kelsey watched Summer as she clapped for Tiara. Summer was so nice, she thought.
While eating birthday cake along the side of the pool, Kelsey asked, "Summer, why did you clap for Tiara? You
lost the race!"
"Losing my parents hurt, but my grand ma said that being sad is a waste
of time. She told me to be kind to others and I will have a happy heart instead
of a sad one." Kelsey smiled.
The party ended and Tiara's mom drove Kelsey home.She felt so lucky to have her mom and dad.
Kelsey opened the front door and walked in to her house. "Mom!" she called.Her mom came out
of the laundry room. Kelsey ran over to her and told her that she could wait
for her own cell phone. Her mom looked at her with surprise. " Uh, ok Kelsey.Good!"
Kelsey later told her mom about Summer.They hugged.
Kelsey learned that everyone has problems... some are big and some are little.
Suddenly, having to wait to get a cell phone was her little problem. Kelsey decided to
fill her days with thankfulness.
